Gingrich: Could be a 2020 Clinton-Trump rematch

Posted by | October 29, 2016 13:16 | Filed under: Politics


This must mean that former Speaker Newt Gingrich knows this election is over.

“The challenge for everybody’s going to be, ‘What if he gets 48 or 49 percent?’” Gingrich said in a video interview for POLITICO’s “Open Mike” series. “And what if he says: ‘You know, I like this campaign and stuff. I ain’t leaving’? There will then be a Trump Party.”

Speaking a few hours before the FBI’s email review became public, Gingrich declared that “odds are better than even” that Trump will win.

But the former House speaker added that if not, Trump might form “a Trump Party inside the Republican Party, just the way William Jennings Bryan brought populism into the Democratic Party.”

…And so you think he might run again in 2020?

“I think that’s very possible,” Gingrich responded. “I think he likes being part of a movement — he likes thinking of it as a movement. … I was thinking about this, [and] he said to me the other morning, … ‘I sent out one tweet and 15,000 people showed up.’”

POLITICO asked: So you’re predicting a Trump-Clinton rematch?

Gingrich: “Could be, assuming she survives.”

What do you mean “survives”?

“That she’s not impeached and convicted,” Gingrich replied. “Look … when people have time to actually digest WikiLeaks and some brave person puts together a book and goes, ‘This, this, this, this, this,’ it’s very hard to imagine how there’s not going to be some serious effort in the first year of her presidency.”

    So…….? A serial adulterer who was forced to resign is the GOP choice for 2020, because another serial adulterer couldn’t get the job done

      When you work with someone like Trump, you want to be careful how you use the word “movement.”

    Not happening, Trumps habits will probably catch up to him by then.

      hopefully he’ll be in prison. i can’t wait until the evidence comes out over his fake foundation.

      • Larry Schmitt October 29th, 2016 at 18:48

        And his fake university.

          he’s gonna be up chit’s creek. he has no choice but to take the stand in a civil case, you can bet that through discovery and his testimony, they will be able to make a criminal case out of this.

    I guess he thinks Trump is only going to get 4 years for his pedophilia conviction in December then? Maybe some time off for good behavior and he will actually be able to campaign too!

    • whatthe46 October 29th, 2016 at 18:10

      unfortunately it’s a civil case not criminal. but, the fraud case will likely turn into a criminal case and for that one he would certainly get time for.

    Not a chance, Donnie boy will never recover from the public thrashing he will get Nov 8, his ego will not allow it

    • Larry Schmitt October 29th, 2016 at 18:48

      With any luck, his “brand” won’t recover either.

    Newt said Hillary was running for prez in 2016 long before Hillary said she was a candidate only to say afterwards she is not qualified to be prez.

    Stop the ride I’m getting dizzy

    Newt just confirming that Repukes never learn from their past horrible mistakes like having Tramp the human maggot their presidential nominee.

    NO, Newt! Tramp will be totally destroyed politically and commercially…his name is now “DIRTY MAGGOT” and he will forever regret running for office.
